O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3070]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little bit at which you persevere is better than a lot at which you are bored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36722]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little bit at which you persevere is better than a lot at which you are bored.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45166]]></link><description><![CDATA[May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect-- But tell me the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, hunting, and love, men for one pleasure a thousand griefes prove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49554]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war, hunting, and love, men for one pleasure a thousand griefes prove.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you know what you are going to write when you're writing a poem, it's going to be average ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62427]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you know what you are going to write when you're writing a poem, it's going to be average]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people really liked to work, we'd still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27796]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people really liked to work, we'd still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success demands singleness of purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success demands singleness of purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little birdie flew overhead a traffic light of green and red.From her diagonal point of view she saw both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9689]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little birdie flew overhead a traffic light of green and red.From her diagonal point of view she saw both crimson and lime hue.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know who my grandfather was; I'm much more concerned to know what his grandson will be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9635]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know who my grandfather was; I'm much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65663]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. - "The Arnold Bennett Calendar". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. - "The Arnold Bennett Calendar".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never had a sore arm or sore leg in my life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34356]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never had a sore arm or sore leg in my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14358]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association of latent causes, which have been long before predestined. [Lat., Equidem aeterna constitutione crediderim nexuque causarum atentium et multo ante destinatarum suum quemque ordinem immutabili lege percurrere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing is to get quality names and go from there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35851]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important thing is to get quality names and go from there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth. -King John.
